Cooling Problem

[thefarside]

Hello everyone!

I built my system a while back but have not put it together until recently. Now that I have put it together I noticed my PC runs fairly hot.

Thermaltake Shark Case
Asus A8N32 SLI-Deluxe MB
AMD FX-60 CPU + Rosewill RCX-Z1
4 GB of Corsair Memory
2x BFG 7900 GTX - OC Graphics Cards

(All degree's are in Celsius)
At idle the CPU is around 34 C
When playing a game, it jumps to 50 C sometimes more depending on ambient air temperature

Between the CPU and the video cards I think it is just too much heat. Does anyone have any suggestions?

50C isnt too bad. However, if you continue playing games and it goes 65+, then you need to worry. But for 50, not so much. Especially considering it is a FX-60.

CPU thermal limits are around 70-80c and video card thermal limits are around 100-110c so you're ok.

Thanks for the input, I was not sure how bad that temp was compared to everyone else.

Still I think I could get better temps if I got a different case with better airflow. Kind of disappointed with the airflow of this case.
